marky_svk: Ahh and also, if I bought Witcher 3, would there be all the patches/free dlc etc. just like the steam version? I know this sounds like im a huge steam fan but Im not and I just want to know
mechmouse: Yep you'll get patches as they come out, I don't know if the free DLC pack they did is still free. I'll quickly look
Free DLC is still free
https://www.gog.com/game/the_witcher_3_wild_hunt_free_dlc_program I'm pretty sure that those DLC are already included in the GOTY edition, though.
marky_svk: Nice, thanks. And I got one last final question about downloading the game. WIll it download through some kind of downloader where i can pause and unpause the download or what? :)
Goodaltgamer: Mechmouse has forgotten another way: the gogdownloader
https://www.gog.com/downloader This is a pure downloader which allows also queuing and pause. Needs to be installed. And assuming Windows ;)
The way to get those files, library -> more -> gog downloader links and double clicking on the page with the links.
Those files need to be installed manually and they are your backup (your copy) as well.
Not really a recommended option for new users at this point, though, due to its unsupported-and-may-become-nonfunctional-at-any-time status. A browser extension such as
DownThemAll! is a safer recommendation at this point for someone who's not interested in a game client.
